WesternSFA is looking for a graphic mascot/logo. The logo/mascot would be used on our web site, letterhead and possibly merchandise such as shirts..

The logo should:
--Tell the world what we do.
We are an Arizona nonprofit organization dedicated to promotion of science fiction and fantasy literature, gaming and Anime. We host fan-run conventions including the annual AniZona Anime convention and the brand new gaming convention, RandomCon.

Graphic possibilities include spacecraft, planets, monsters, aliens and other fantastical creatures, books, etc. Our name should be in there somewhere. (The Corporate Treasurer is quite fond of space-going Samurai penguins...)

--Be scalable.
The logo should look good and be easy to recognize at all sizes, from business cards to posters. Line art is better that anything that depends on colors, best is a design that works as line art as well as colored. Simple is good.

The winning designer will receive a free membership to any local fan run convention in 2009 (AniZona, LepreCon, CopperCon, HexaCon, Tuscon) and the right to boast "That's my design!".

WesternSFA will retain all copyright to the winning design.
